|
+The power tracer collects detailed information about C-state and P-state
|
|
|
+transitions, instead of just looking at the high-level "average"
|
|
|
+information.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+There is a helper script found in scrips/tracing/power.pl in the kernel
|
|
|
+sources which can be used to parse this information and create a
|
|
|
+Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) picture from the trace data.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To use this tracer:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
|
|
|
+ echo power > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
|
|
|
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
|
|
|
+ sleep 1
|
|
|
+ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
|
|
|
+ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | \
|
|
|
+ perl scripts/tracing/power.pl > out.sv
